PRIX DE ROME

The Professional Prix de Rome in Architecture is awarded annually to either a young practitioner of architecture or an architectural firm that has completed its first built works and has demonstrated exceptional artistic potential.

The prize encourages the development of artistic excellence in contemporary architectural practice by supporting the prize recipients to travel around the world to develop their skills and their creative practice, and to strengthen their position in the international architecture world.

Candidates are to define the program of work and related travels that will best support the development and recognition of their practice. Travel can consist of multiple trips to a number of destinations, spread over a two-year period.

The Montreal firm KANVA with its proposal Adaptive Boundaries is a recipient of the Prix de Rome in Architecture 2017.
